I own/carry a P229, and I personally love it. With just basic maintenance, I've yet to have any problems. What initially sold me on it (after firing it of course) was the ease of the barrel change. I bought it in .40 then picked up a .357Sig barrel later. For those of you that load your own rounds, ammo may not be of much concern. But since I don't , I target shoot with the .40 and carry the .357. I'm 5'10" & 180lbs and wear an in the belt holster on the back of my hip. I generally don't have a problem with concealment, but this may not be the case for everybody. I agree with all of the above that some may have an issue in different weather and with different setups due different body types and the P229 being a little thick. As an all around great weapon, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
